Answer:

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Value of Winning bid = $52

Winning bid 65% of the maximum bid.

To find:

How much more is the maximum bid from the winning bid ?

Solution:

We are given that the winning bid is 65% of the maximum bid.

Using this percentage value, we need to first find the value of maximum bid and then we need to subtract the value of winning bid from the maximum bid to find the answer.

Let the value of maximum bid = $x

As per question statement:

65%\ of\ x = 52\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{65}{100} \times x =52\\\Rightarrow 5x = 400\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{400}{5}\\\Rightarrow x =\$80

Therefore, maximum bid = $80

Our answer is:

$80 - $52 = <em>$28</em>

1. What is AD/AB in simplest form
Step2247 [10]
This is the concept of algebra: The answers to the questions will be as follows:
1. What is AD/AM in the simplest form:
AD/AB is the ratio of AD to AB. This will calculated as follows:
AD=9 units
AB=3 units
thus:
9/3=3
Hence, we conclude that the answer is D. 3

2] What is slope of BE/ slope of AE in simplest form:
slope=(Δy-axis)/(Δx-axis)
slope of AE
=(5-0)/(4-0)
=5/4
slope BE
slope=(5-0)/(4-3)=5/1=5
therefore the ratio of the two slope will be:
BE/AE
=5/(5/4)
=4
The answer is A.4

3. What is the value of x in the proportion (x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35?
To get the value of x we solve the above proportion:
(x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35
35(x-1)=5(4x+2)
35x-35=20x+10
putting like terms together we get:
35x-20x=10+35
15x=45
dividing both sides by 15
x=45/15
x=3
Hence the answer is B.3

4. What is the value of x in the proportion:
(x+1)/(x+3)=15/21
to get the value of x we solve the above:
first we begin by cross multiplying the proportion, this will give us:
21(x+1)=15(x+3)
21x+21=15x+45
putting like terms together we get:
21x-15x=45-21
6x=24
dividing both sides by 6 we get
x=4
∴ x=4

5. The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in extended ratio 3:10:12. The perimeter is 400 cm. What is the length of the longest side in cm.
solution:
Here we introduce the variable x such that the perimeter is:
3x+10x+12x=400
25x=400
x=400/25
x=16
The longest side will be:
12×16=192 cm

CONDITIONAL: If 2x + 1 = 25, then x = 12. INVERSE: if 2x + 1 /=25, then x /= 12 is the inverse of the conditional false or true?
exis [7]
True because if you do 2 x 12 that will equal 24. Then it says +1 so it will be 25. So, it's true.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

c. 273 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find what 16% of 325 is

325x.16=52

because the number sold dropped by 16% you will subtract 52 from 325

325-52=273

you can also calculate the answer by subtracting 100% by 16%

100%-16%=84%

now you can calculate 84% of 325

325x.84=273
